Cubes, Cones, Cylinders, & Spheres

Wooden alphabet blocks. A Halloween witches' hat. A ship's smokestacks. A bubble from a child's wand. This wordless book depicts the four geometric shapes in the title with a series of full-page, full-color photographs featuring mostly everyday objects and activities and diverse children. The fun comes not just in identifying the shapes but also in discovering what some of the photographs reveal with a bit of study. Is the top of that light pole with the sphere-shaped bulbs a cylinder? How many of the shapes can you find in that photograph of the castle? ©2000 Cooperative Children's Book Center
